Railroad turntable feature at north west corner of the building footprint spanning within the building footprint and outside of the building footprint (original built heritage and archaeological feature)
Reinforced concrete structural frame (The 2019 work clads the concrete with limestone to retain similar historical forms and proportions.)
Asymmetrical massing with three bays on east end and six on the west end, with recessed bay on the south side of the building
Five storey tower on the southwest corner of the building with additional unenclosed “sixth” storey (feature of 1912 construction)
Otherwise generally uniform rhythm of bays on sides
Articulated brick parapet wall
Tripartite glazing system (The original eastern portion of the building had six over six double hung sash windows in sets of three. The western portion of the building had a similar tripartite sash, but with each third composed of 16 to 20 fixed panes, with the exception of the center panels. The center panels consist of a center pivot 6 panel casement windows. The 2019 redevelopment includes a prefinished aluminum tripartite glazing system on the majority of upper floors, thus replicating the appearance of the c.1911 glazing.)
Brick infill spandrel panels within bays beneath the tripartite glazing system
Brick pillars on the east side of the property
